Dynamics of age structure and level of re-recognized disability due to cancer in adult population in the Russian Federation in 2005-2014

We analyzed special features of re-recognized disability due to cancer in adults in the Russian Federation in 2005-2014. We studied the absolute number, the level, and the age structure of the persons re-recognized as disabled. We determined the proportion of the re-recognized disability due to cancer among all the people re-recognized as disabled because of other disease types. Re-recognized disability due to cancer increased in the Russian Federation. However, the level of the disability among young and middle-aged population decreased, whereas it increased in retirement-age people. The level of the re-recognized disability in this age group of the adult Russian Federation people increasedfrom 10.1% to 41.6% per 10 thousands of the relevant population over 10 years (from 2005 to 2014). Malignant tumors ranked second after the blood system diseases as the re-recognized disability cause in the Russian Federation (in 2014).
